Norfolk Virginian May 18, 1894

Death of Mr. S.M. Simpson, Sr. - Mr. S.M. Simpson, Sr., one of the best 
known  citizens in Berkley, died yesterday morning about 5 o'clock in 
Hertford, N.C., where he had gone several days ago to attend to some 
business.
He had been in Hertford but a few days when his wife was telegraphed to, 
informing her of his sudden serious illness.  She went to him immediately 
and everything possible was done to prolong his life, but without avail, and 
he passed quietly away at the time mentioned.
Mr. Simpson was a native of Canada, but has lived in Berkley for many years.  
He left home in robust health and looked as though he would live a number of 
years.  He was a man of many friends, of unfailing good nature, of brightest 
disposition, highly respected by all the people of Berkley, to nearly all of 
whom he was personally known.
Mr. Simpson leaves a wife and seven children, all of whom are grown, and one 
of whom, Mr. S.M. Simpson, Jr., is a member of the Town Council.
Mr. Simpson's remains will arrive this morning at 11 o'clock by the Norfolk 
and Southern railroad and the funeral will take place from his late 
residence this afternoon.  Services will be held at St. Thomas' Church, of 
which Mr. Simpson was a member, at 5:30 o'clock.
